There is a special kind of magic that happens when women come together in sisterhood—when we share our stories, honour our bodies, and hold space for one another in a circle of support. Yet many of us have no experience of being held by sisterhood.
Our women’s circle is a gathering of women of all ages to connect with our cyclical nature, our wisdom, intuition and to encourage and cherish the uniqueness of each and every one of us. In this space, you are welcome to show up as you are. There is no need for performance, nor masks. This is a place where all parts of ourselves are welcome. This is an invitation to have space to be yourself, be vulnerable, connect with your body, rest and feel embraced by the circle of women.
All women are welcome in this gathering regardless of age, background and where you are at in your life. YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Each gathering begins with a gentle grounding practice to bring us into our bodies and connect with our hearts. Afterwards, we open the circle, inviting every woman to share in her own way.
After the opening circle, we explore a theme for that month through discussion or an activity which might involve art making, movement, journaling etc.
In each circle, we bring some embodiment practice such as dance as a way to connect to the wisdom of our bodies, release and express ourselves.
We close the circle by singing or dancing together or with a short relaxation to process the insights that might have come up during the circle.
The themes we explore in our circles are often inspired by the seasonal shifts, the Celtic Wheel as well as by archetypes.
WHAT TO BRING:
-
Wear comfortable clothes. You are invited to wear a piece of clothing/ dress that makes you feel YOU . This is optional. The most important thing is to feel comfortable!
-
Wear layers in case we dance or spend time in stillness.
-
Bring a journal if you would like to take note of your reflections.
GUIDELINES FOR OUR WOMEN'S COMMUNITY
-
This is a non-judgemental space where we cultivate kindness, compassion, gentleness and support for ourselves and each other
-
This is not a place to give or receive advice
-
You are invited to listen deeply to everyone who is sharing. There is so much power in listening, which can support us in our own healing journey and helps us to connect on a deeper level with other women and to our collective feminine wisdom
-
We do not interrupt when someone is sharing in a circle
-
Everything that is shared in the circle stays in the circle
-
To respect everyone’s time, please arrive in the space at least 10 mins before start time.
-
During our circles, you are invited to show up authentically, with your truth – this space is an opportunity for you to be vulnerable, explore themes that you might not get to explore outside of the circle, explore movement in a way that is new to you. However, you are not expected to share anything that does not feel comfortable or be someone that you are not. You are welcome to show up in the way that feels true to you.
-
Although you might not be able to join each circle, the invitation is to commit to try to show up regularly – that way we will be able to go even deeper.
WOMEN'S CIRCLES TESTIMONIALS
"Anna has a gentle, attentive and informative facilitation style. I loved the movement/yoga, singing, laying out the seasons of the cycle, creative play, journaling and of course sharing stories with women."
"Really loved it. Very nurturing space to gather with women. "
"I remember when I first started practising yoga that someone told me it can take some time to find the right teacher for me. It has taken many years but I'm delighted to say Anna is that teacher! Anna goes beyond the physical to really connecting movement with breath, philosophy, community, awareness, and so much more depth. She creates a welcoming, safe space no matter what activity she is hosting. And of course, very importantly, she knows what she is doing and how to share it in a safe and effective way. I can't recommend her classes and spaces highly enough. Thank you, Anna 💜"
